Eleanor Roosevelt Damon

Together we honor the life of Eleanor Damon. Eleanor was a remarkable woman who touched the lives of many and though we mourn her passing, we also celebrate the incredible legacy she leaves behind.

Eleanor was a woman of unwavering faith. Her relationship with God was the foundation of her life. She lived each day with a deep sense of purpose, seeking to walk in His light. Her prayers were constant, and in times of joy and sorrow alike, she found strength in her faith.

Eleanor’s infectious sense of humor could light up any room. She had a unique ability to bring comfort and happiness to everyone she met and was a friend to all. Eleanor's greatest joy came from spending time with her family. She loved deeply and her family was the cornerstone of her existence. She poured her love and wisdom into each of us, nurturing us with her care, and building a foundation of faith, love, and laughter that we will carry with us forever.

As we say goodbye to Eleanor, we remember the beautiful spirit she was — one that lived with joy, purpose, and grace. We will miss her laughter, her prayers, her friendship, and her unwavering faith, but we know that her legacy will continue to live on in each of us.

Eleanor was preceded in death by her parents Ernest Semien and Laures Semien; and her siblings Laura Garrick, Evelyn Moore, Anna Semien, Jimmy Semien, and Nolan Semien.

Eleanor leaves to cherish her loving memories with her husband, Edward Damon Jr. of Crowley, Texas; her daughter, Dwana (William) Jackson of Burleson, Texas; two granddaughters, Breana (Vincent) Jackson Aiola of Lafayette, Louisiana and Bianca (Lane) Melancon of Aurora, Colorado; three great-grandchildren, Baylin Jackson, Bayleigh Aiola, and Baylor Aiola; three brothers, Lernest (Laura) Semien, Carl Semien, and Kenneth Semien; two sisters, Judy Booker and Deborah Comeaux; and a host of nieces, nephews, friends, and family.
